The bonus tubular steel, professional quality, tripod stand delivers each pitch from a realistic pitch height. The Dual Speed Controls give you the ability to hit fast balls and curve balls from 15 to 45 MPH with the simple turn of the knobs.

Features

Professional Pitch Location System (PPLS) is the technique used by hundreds of professional level hitters. The Crusher pitches the desired pitch in the same location time and time again. This allows you to train your body and mind to memorize the location, feel, and mechanics of hitting the ball in each specific location. Now with slight adjustments to your swing and bat angle, you can hit the ball at will and develop long-ball crushing power.

Tripod is very heavy/sturdy so you don't have to worry about it being knocked over. Mine came with a battery which wasn't real easy to install. The instructions don't tell you how long to recharge the battery. It came with 12 wiffle balls and 12 yellow foam balls. The wiffle balls are useless. They usually spit out about 5 feet or just sit in the chamber until the next ones pushes it out at the same time. The yellow foam balls will go around 150 ft. if you hit them solid. Setting the wheels to get the balls to curve can be done but takes a few minutes of trial and error to get setup. Balls are release a little to quickly so I taped off 2 of the ball feed slots to double the time between pitches. It's nice that you can change the speeds on the wheels to make a pitch faster or slower.

The price on this machine was what initially made me decide to purchase it. Once it arrived I set it up and was impressed but the sturdy tripod that came with it. From that point on I was dissapinted in the performance of the unit. I could not get it to produce consistant pitches with any type of ball and my 11 year old son whom I purchased it for was not happy with it. I returned it and purchased a higher price model from a different manufacturer.
